As we learned today, OnePlus is preparing to introduce not only new smartphones but also its first wireless charging station. This means that at least the OnePlus 8 Pro, and possibly OnePlus 8, will finally get the wireless charging support that fans of the company have been asking for a long time.
Recall, the head of OnePlus has always stated that the company does not implement this technology in its smartphones due to low power. Indeed, just a couple of years ago, the power was 7.5 W, and many charges were five-watt at all. However, in recent years, wireless charging has become much more powerful. Now 20 watts is a completely normal indicator, a number of smartphones boast support for 30-watt charging, and the top-end Huawei P40 Pro + is even impressive at 40 watts.
What will be the OnePlus wireless charging? Rumours say that the power will be 30 watts, that is, the OnePlus innovations will charge equally fast (approximately) both via wired and wireless charging. And what the station itself will look like can be seen below.
It will be made of plastic and metal and will receive an active cooling system. There is no data on the price yet. Also, Evan Blass (Evan Blass), namely he is the author of the images, shared the renderings of the protective glass for OnePlus 8 Pro, as well as the company transparent cover.
